heybeliada
Şimdi eminim, Heybeliada en sevdim ada.
Of course, I did go on a partly-cloudy Monday, when there will naturally be many fewer people than on a sunny weekend, but it was glorious. Back roads, empty of everyone but me, the singing birds, and seemingly zillions of little green lizards. Found a comfy bench with a terrific view, so sat and did some knitting in nature. Walked a loop around the island, which I have done before. But last time I stuck to the low roads and had a much longer walk. This time I went up to the high roads, had nicer views, a stop at an interesting Greek Orthodox cemetery, and a shorter loop.
Heading out of the main village
Alone with the birds and trees
A lovely spot to sit in the sunshine
And some green friends for company. This is just two of at least a dozen I saw.
